The Cloud of Unknowing is an anonymous fourteenth-century work of Christian mysticism, which teaches that one can only approach God through unknowing, without reference to the intellect.
By scientism, I mean the notion that empirical science is the most reliable worldview, or that the scientific method is the only way to arrive at truth. If we, as rational beings, are not in control of our minds, it wasn t that far of a leap to imagine that some mysterious force internal or external must be influencing our actions.

When Psychoanalysts Believed in Magic
Sigmund Freud told Carl Jung it was important to keep sexuality at the center of the human psyche, rather than anything spiritualist.

January 22, 2019 February 24, 2020 3 minutes The icon indicates free access to the linked research on JSTOR.The discipline of psychoanalysis has always struggled to define itself as truly scientific. As psychologist and historian Júlia Gyimesi writes, something that made this difficult from the get-go was the deep interest many early Freudians had in the occult.
The psychoanalytic view that people are subject to drives hidden from the conscious mind had a natural connection with spiritualists’ ideas. If we, as rational beings, are not in control of our minds, it wasn’t that far of a leap to imagine that some mysterious force—internal or external—must be influencing our actions.
Despite his skepticism about supernatural phenomena, Freud himself was also interested in the occult.
So it may not be surprising that a number of early Freudians attempted to study spiritualists’ claims of telepathy and other supposed psychic phenomena. For example, Gyimesi writes, Sándor Ferenczi, Freud’s close collaborator and founder of the Budapest School of psychoanalysis, conducted experiments with mediums and clairvoyants. Ferenczi argued that thought-transference was common among his patients. In a 1910 letter to Freud, he wrote “I am reading my patients’ thoughts (in my free associations) … This method will be suitable to catch the patient’s most active complexes at work.”
Freud, always deeply worried about the reputation of psychoanalysis, warned Ferenczi that he was “throwing a bomb into the psychoanalytic edifice.” But, despite his skepticism about supernatural phenomena, Freud himself was also interested in the occult. In a 1921 letter, he wrote:
I am not one of those who dismiss a priori the study of so-called occult psychic phenomena as unscientific, discreditable or even as dangerous. If I were at the beginning rather than at the end of a scientific career, as I am today, I might possibly choose just this field of research, in spite of all difficulties.
The most famous advocate for an expansion of psychoanalytic theory into the realm of the occult was Freud’s favorite disciple, Carl Jung. Jung’s interest in the supernatural developed before he met Freud; several members of his mother’s family claimed supernatural abilities. In his professional lectures, Jung critiqued purely materialist thinking as “intellectual death.” He argued for the existence of an immortal soul, with a presence outside space and time. Gyimesi writes that Jung’s theory “desexualized the motivational basis of psychoanalysis and posited an obscure, scarcely rational life-force at the center of the human psyche.”
This horrified Freud. Jung later recalled a conversation in which Freud asked him to pledge never to abandon the sexual theory. “You see we must make a dogma of it, an unshakable bulwark,” Jung recalled Freud saying. Jung wrote that, “In some astonishment I asked him, ‘A bulwark—against what?’ To which he replied, ‘Against the black tide of mud’—and here he hesitated for a moment, then added, ‘of occultism.’”

By highlighting sex, Gyimesi writes, Freud insisted on the unconscious as a biological phenomenon, closing off interpretations based in mental states that transcended the individual mind.
Today, of course, many of us consider Freud’s ideas about sexuality pseudoscientific, even as we take for granted that our behavior is often motivated by unconscious drives of some sort.

1. John - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with my stay at Taliisman apartments Broadbeach. The room was dirty and poorly maintained, with cracked tiles in the bathroom and a musty smell that wouldn't go away. The furniture was outdated and uncomfortable, and the bed felt like sleeping on a rock. The swimming pool was also not well-maintained, with dirty water and broken tiles. Overall, the entire experience was a letdown, and I would not recommend staying here.
2. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Taliisman apartments Broadbeach based on the pictures and description online, but it did not live up to my expectations. The room was smaller than anticipated and lacked basic amenities like a hairdryer and iron. The noise from the neighboring apartments and the street was unbearable, and I had trouble getting a good night's sleep. The staff was not helpful or accommodating when I raised these concerns, which only added to my disappointment. I would not choose to stay here again.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
My experience at Taliisman apartments Broadbeach was underwhelming. The room was shabby and outdated, with worn-out furniture and stained carpets. The kitchenette was poorly equipped, making it difficult to cook even a simple meal. The location was convenient, but the constant noise from nearby construction sites made it impossible to relax. The front desk staff was unhelpful and seemed disinterested in addressing any of the issues I raised. I would recommend looking for alternative accommodations in the area.
